  • The Complete Book of Cheese by Robert Carlton Brown
    THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CHEESE BY ROBERT CARLTON BROWN Chapter One I Remember Cheese Cheese market day in a town in the north of Holland. All the cheese- fanciers are out, thumping the cannon-ball Edams and the millstone Goudas with their bare red knuckles, plugging in with a hollow steel tool for samples. In Holland the business of judging a crumb of cheese has been taken with great seriousness for centuries. The abracadabra is comparable to that of the wine-taster or tea-taster. These Edamers have the trained ear of music-masters and, merely by knuckle-rapping, can tell down to an air pocket left by a gas bubble just how mature the interior is. The connoisseurs use gingerbread as a mouth-freshener; and I, too, that sunny day among the Edams, kept my gingerbread handy and made my way from one fine cheese to another, trying out generous plugs from the heaped cannon balls that looked like the ammunition dump at Antietam. I remember another market day, this time in Lucerne. All morning I stocked up on good Schweizerkäse and better Gruyère. For lunch I had cheese salad. All around me the farmers were rolling two- hundred-pound Emmentalers, bigger than oxcart wheels. I sat in a little café, absorbing cheese and cheese lore in equal quantities. I learned that a prize cheese must be chock-full of equal-sized eyes, the gas holes produced during fermentation. They must glisten like polished bar glass. The cheese itself must be of a light, lemonish yellow. Its flavor must be nutlike.

  • Price Leadership on the National Cheese Exchange
    Review of Industrial Organization 12: 145±170, 1997. c 1997 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Price Leadership on the National Cheese Exchange WILLARD F. MUELLER, BRUCE W. MARION and MAQBOOL H. SIAL 427 Lorch Street, Madison, WI 53706, U.S.A. Abstract. The motivation and trading behavior of the leading cheese companies on the National Cheese Exchange are examined. Although only 0.2 percent of all cheese is sold on the NCE, it is used to formula-price 90-95 percent of the bulk cheese in the U.S. Kraft General Foods, the largest buyer of cheese in the U.S., was the dominant seller on the NCE during 1988-1993, with the apparent purpose and effect of depressing national cheese prices. Kraft's behavior is consistent with that of a barometric price leader that enjoys a signi®cant degree of discretion in shaping the pattern of prices over a price cycle. As presently organized, the NCE facilitates market manipulation. Key words: Price leadership, market manipulation, thin market, cheese prices, auction market, strategic behavior. I. Introduction The National Cheese Exchange (NCE) is a centralized auction market in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Cheese manufacturers and marketers meet weekly for about 30 minutes to buy and sell carlots of bulk cheddar cheese to each other in 40 pound blocks or 500 pound barrels.1 NCE sales account for less than one percent of all cheese made in the U.S. Each year about ®ve sellers and ®ve buyers make virtually all cheese trades. The tiny volume traded in this obscure market by a few traders belies the far- reaching consequences of the prices that are established.
